wireless, it's 'teh future'.  nouveau shouldn't be any worse than the nv
driver we already ship in most cases (My laptop triggers one edge case
where the panel size is misdetected - we patch the nv driver in fedora,
but nouveau lacks the same change [or better change] right now).

Getting this into F7 is something we should definitly attempt IMO.
